Friday's Notebook

September 24, 1986

The Kansas City Royals traded outfielder Darryl Motley to the Atlanta Braves for pitcher Steve Shields. Motley was hitting .203 with seven home runs and 20 RBIs this season. He was used sparingly after the Royals called up three minor-league outfielders on Sept. 1. Motley, 26, was a .253 career hitter before this season. He is probably best remembered for a two-run home run in the seventh game of last year's World Series that sparked the Royals to an 11-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Shields, 27, spent most of this season at Atlanta's Triple-A affilate in Richmond, Va. He was 9-8 with a 2.59 ERA while in the International League this year.
